My life starts
when I'm looking through
the glass window
Waiting for the one and only
to come and pick me up

My life flows
day by day, constantly
without a stop
During morning, I'm chosen
to play my role until the night

But my life also ends
even if I don't want it to
I can't escape that
One day, I'll tear and break
and then I'll be thrown out

But it's always worth it
to serve you
the best I can, every day
That's why I wrote this letter
signed with no regrets

Yours sincerely: Clothing

Once upon a time
there were three wishes
you were gifted with them

One was Strength
but you couldn't keep it
so it faltered quickly

The other named Hope
you loved it so much
but it hated you instead

The last one, Sorrow
you didn't want it at all
because it wasn't joy

You kept on ignoring it
pushing it away
focused on the other two

But once you were alone
without Strength and Hope
only with Sorrow left

You finally embraced it
you learned to love it
your own little wish

The only one you
were able to get
a wish made just for you

Clack. Clack. Clack.
Coins are falling down
hitting the stone floor.
You watch them helplessly
because you have no other choice.

One. Two. Three.
A calm, emotionless voice
counts them down indifferently.
You're trying to cover your ears
but the sound is too loud to block it.

Weep. Sniff. Hiccup.
Heavy, salty tears
flow down through your face.
Mourning each and every piece
of metal that's thrown onto the floor.

Tick. Tock. Tick.
The clock is constantly
measuring the passing time.
Coins represent years you've wasted
and when they're gone, you'll have nothing.

The only thing waiting for you
at the end is death after all.

— The End —
